Tiny Alphas: Small Size...Big Impact!

Ever since the 2009-2010 MemoryWorks Catalog released, I have been trying out some of the new products. The Making Memories Tiny Alpha sets have become one of my favorites! Now these may not be new to some of you, but they are new to the catalog and were new for me...and now I'm addicted! What makes these little gems so special is their size. I recently heard someone comment, "Well, I just don't know what I'd do with them," so I thought I'd share a few ideas.

One thing you can do with these petite little cuties is add information to a tag. See how I documented the date on this tag...which was part of a 12 X 12 layout.

You can also use the letters on small projects like this Post It Note cover...adds a little something extra without over-powering the project. By the way, they look great on handmade cards, too!

Finally, one of my favorite ways to use these letters is to spell out words you want emphasized in your journaling. (Thanks to TeamWorks member, Sandy, for the inspiration!) Again, just a little addition to the page, but what a great way to make an impact...and you're still using your own handwriting.

These are just a few ideas, but hopefully you'll see the possibilities are endless. The sets come in a variety of colors to coordinate with any project you may have. So give these little beauties a try, if you haven't already! Click here to view the Tiny Alpha sets as well as all the other fantastic Making Memories products available from MemoryWorks.
